You have the right to talk about your union—and your working conditions—on work time.

As long as it doesn’t interfere with your job duties, short union-related conversations are protected under state and federal labor law. That includes:

  • Talking about upcoming meetings or actions
  • Answering co-workers’ questions
  • Sharing updates from your rep or bargaining team
  • Organizing with fellow members

You also have the right to display your union pride:

  • Post union materials on workplace bulletin boards
  • Keep union stickers or signs in your office or vehicle
  • Add a union logo to your email signature
  • Use a union logo as your Outlook or Zoom profile photo
  • Set a union-themed background in video calls
  • Wear union gear at work
  • Have a uniform? Ask us for a patch, a button, a hat, or another method to display union support while also complying with your uniform requirements.

Need to have a longer conversation? You can also use your 30-minute lunch and two paid 15-minute breaks to talk about union topics, meet with coworkers, or make plans.

It’s your union. You have the right to speak up, show up, and stand together.
